DAVID J. MITCHELL RE: ADFIN SOLUTIONS INC. February 16, 2016 Dear Partner, On Friday, the Board of Adfin voted to accept an offer from its largest shareholder, Cantor Venture, to fund $1,750,000. Alongside its founder, Jonathan Leitersdorf, Cantor has been funding the Company for the past two years on a bridge loan basis (Exhibit A). The end result is the shares that you purchased a number of years ago will be diluted. In a separate email, I will forward to you the details of the transaction. I have decided to allocate all of my shares into a vehicle structured to make up some of the dilution. Once I make the transfer, I will forward the details of this entity. The basic premise is that I will allocate the shares or economic interests among the four investors that I introduced to Adfin. The allocation will be based on the actual dollars you invested as percentage of the total dollars my group invested in Adfin (please see the following page). Personally, I feel very badly that this happened as I introduced you to this investment to co-invest alongside me. I truly thought this would produce a successful return for both of us. I would like to note that I received no benefit from the Company for asking you to invest. I did receive shares for my board participation, which I am also contributing to this vehicle. The irony is the Company is doing quite well and for the first time is achieving meaningful milestones (Exhibit B + Company Overview). My sincere hope is that the Company continues to be on the track and one day the investment that you made to receive the gain that you deserve for the risk. I hope the shares I have allocated to this effort helps to get you much quicker. I will continue to help the Company in anyway possible as I believe in the business and the outstanding team. I deeply appreciative of your friendship, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. David J.

New York. NY 10065 (o) I EFTA01084695 EXHIBIT A • Cantor and Julserra (Leitersdorf affiliate) will lead the round with a $1.75M investment of new cash at first closing ASAP • Conversion of approximately $7.3M in outstanding debt from Cantor, Julserra, David Mitchell and Southern Trust • Following the initial closing, the Company will offer, for 30 days, an additional $1M to the existing Series A investors (besides Julserra and Cantor) and accredited common stockholders • If such investors do not purchase the full $1M, the Company may sell the remainder to new investors on the same terms for a period of 5 months • All previously issued warrants will be terminated and the Series A will waive their rights to any anti-dilution adjustment [the $0.13 per share purchase price bakes in these presumptions to keep the cap numbers as simple as possible] • $0.13 per share, implying a post-money valuation of $12.8M when factoring in the option pool increase, but assuming the $1M rights offering amount remains unsold • 8% cumulative dividends senior to the Series A & Common • 1X liquidation preference senior to the Series A & Common • Board increased to 7 directors. All chosen by Cantor, but each 10% or greater stockholder will have the right to appoint 1 director — for now only Julserra and the Board must include the CEO. Gil Mandelzis will resign from the Board. The other 4 directors will stay and Howard Lutnick, Jed Kleckner and Henrique de Castro will join the Board. • Cantor will effectively control decision-making power at the Board and stockholder level subject to very limited minority rights protection set out in a new Shareholders Agreement and to fiduciary duties under Delaware law. • AdFin will be majority owned by Cantor 801 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10065 (0) I EFTA01084696 EXHIBIT B 1) Programmatic Study with the ANA, ACA and Ebiquity • Signed - 20+ top brands signed to participate.
